Naxal victims visit Deputy Chief Minister Shri Vijay Sharma to express heartfelt gratitude

Raipur : The villagers of Bastar, who have endured a painful life after losing their legs in various IED blasts carried out by Naxalites while engaged in their daily routines—such as collecting forest produce or farming—are now receiving support through artificial limbs, thanks to the initiative of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai and Deputy Chief Minister Shri Vijay Sharma.

In the first phase of this initiative, six individuals affected by Naxal violence received training to walk with artificial legs at the Physical Referral Rehabilitation Centre, Samaj Kalyan Parisar, Mana Camp, Raipur. These individuals, who had become dependent on others for mobility after losing their legs in an IED blast, were so thrilled to receive artificial legs that they walked on their own to the residence of Deputy Chief Minister Shri Vijay Sharma to express their joy.

It is worth mentioning that around 70 Naxal victims from the Bastar region traveled to Delhi in September, where they staged a protest at Jantar Mantar. They met President Smt. Droupadi Murmu and Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah to share their stories and appeal for peace in Bastar. Upon their return, Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister Shri Vijay Sharma engaged with each victim at his office, inquiring about their well-being and facilitating the provision of artificial legs for those who had lost limbs in IED blasts.

Under the direction of Deputy Chief Minister Shri Vijay Sharma, the process of providing artificial limbs to Naxal violence victims has commenced with the assistance of the Social Welfare Department. Nine Naxal victims were scheduled to come from Bastar to receive artificial legs; however, three were unable to attend due to personal reasons. Six individuals—Guddu Lekam, Khairkam Joga, Rajaram, Somli Khatri, and Avalam Mara from Bijapur, as well as Sukki Madkam from Sukma—received prosthetic legs at the Physical Referral Rehabilitation Center, Samaj Kalyan Parisar, Mana Camp, Raipur.

With their new prosthetic legs, these Naxal victims are experiencing a renewed sense of hope. They conveyed their feelings at Deputy Chief Minister Shri Sharma's residence, stating that they now feel more independent and are looking forward to moving ahead in life. While they acknowledge that the losses inflicted by the Naxalites cannot be compensated, they expressed gratitude for the sensitivity shown by the Chhattisgarh government in providing them with prosthetic legs and a renewed enthusiasm for life.

First-of-its-kind Initiative in the State, Integrating Water Conservation and Ayurvedic Medicine in Butigarh

Chief Minister lauds the efforts to Preserve Forest Wealth and raise awareness about Ayurveda among the Masses

Raipur : An extensive campaign is being conducted in Dhamtari district of Chhattisgarh to promote water conservation and Ayurveda. A unique initiative has been launched to encourage Ayurvedic and natural medicine in the region, marking a pioneering effort in the state. Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai lauded this innovation by the AYUSH Department and Dhamtari District Administration, and encouraged further efforts to preserve the state’s forest resources and enhance public awareness about Ayurveda. As part of this initiative, the district administration has established an ‘AYUSH Ras-shala’ (Herbal Beverage Center) in the Singpur (Butigarh) village, a forested area of the district, to integrate Ayurveda into the lives of the local population.

धमतरी जिले में जल संरक्षण और आयुर्वेद को लेकर व्यापक जागरूकता अभियान चलाए जा रहे हैं

Butigarh is naturally blessed with medicinal plants, and thus, a herbarium is also being developed in the area. The Ras-shala has been constructed to promote, propagate, and utilize these medicinal plants. Through this Ras-shala, local residents, students, and tourists will be able to experience the benefits of these herbal drinks.

Water holds immense importance in Ayurveda, as it helps maintain the balance of all major elements in the body. The "Jal Jagar" program in Dhamtari district is showcasing the significance of water conservation along with the utility of Ayurvedic beverages and medicines. Ayurvedic practitioners at the exhibition highlighted the importance of Butigarh and the Ras-shala, explaining how adopting pure water and Ayurvedic nutrition can contribute to a healthier lifestyle for families and communities.

Decoction for Enhanced Physical and Mental Health

Ayurveda Medical Officer, Dr. Avadh Pachauri, stated that 160 varieties of medicinal herbs have been identified, out of which 25,000 plants have been planted in Butigarh in the initial phase. Some of these herbs are already being used in powdered or tablet form for Ayurvedic treatments. As Butigarh further develops, the Ras-shala will serve as a medium to increase awareness about Ayurveda. Additionally, efforts are underway to preserve endangered medicinal plants in Butigarh for future research. Presently, decoctions prepared from various herbs are being provided to visitors at different AYUSH centers, including patients, pregnant women, adolescents, and children, resulting in notable improvements in their physical and mental health.

‘Arjun Ksheerpak’—A Boon for Heart Patients

Dr. Pachauri emphasized that, since the COVID-19 pandemic, sudden heart attacks resulting in on-the-spot deaths across all age groups have become a growing concern, leaving no time for intervention. The regular consumption of ‘Arjun Ksheerpak’—a preparation made from the bark of the Arjun tree—can significantly reduce instances of instant heart attacks. The Arjun bark possesses unique medicinal properties that strengthen the arteries of the heart and enhance cardiac muscles. This preparation is especially beneficial for individuals suffering from heart ailments or those at high risk of cardiac arrest.

Ayurvedic Medicines Highly Beneficial in Daily Life

District AYUSH Officer Dr. Gurudayal Sahu shared that at the recent ‘Jal Jagar’ festival, the AYUSH Department’s exhibition on Butigarh and the Ras-shala displayed the medicinal properties of various plants like ‘Moringa’ (Drumstick Tree), including the method of preparing its soup. Furthermore, extracts from different herbs were obtained through distillation, enabling the preparation of medicines useful in daily life. The aim of Butigarh and the Ras-shala is to raise public awareness about the benefits of medicinal plants.

Many Ayurvedic herbs are readily available in households and can effectively combat seasonal ailments when used appropriately. Dr. Gurudayal also highlighted efforts to promote the cultivation of 'Rashi Ratna' plants. Extensive planting of medicinal herbs is not only preserving nature but also significantly contributing to water conservation, while enhancing positivity in everyday life through the beneficial properties of these plants.

Ras-shala Inspired by Ancient Ayurvedic Text ‘Rasa Shastra’

One of the ancient Ayurvedic texts, Rasa Shastra, describes various methods for preparing medicines using different apparatuses to purify and formulate potent remedies. Maharishi Nagarjuna is considered the pioneer of these techniques, which were historically employed to treat numerous ailments. In ancient times, Ayurvedic practitioners used instruments like ‘Dola Yantra’, ‘Ulukhala Yantra’, ‘Kachchapa Yantra’, and ‘Swedani Yantra’ to prepare medicines that are still effective for treating various health conditions. The AYUSH Rasshala in Butigarh aims to create fresh herbal juices, extracts, decoctions, and beverages from these plants, thereby boosting the body’s immunity and offering numerous health benefits.

‘Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Shram Ann Yojana’ is providing nutritious meals to around 94,000 workers each month

‘Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Shram Ann Yojana’ is a boon for migrant labourers

Raipur : The ‘Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Shram Ann Yojana’ is providing nutritious meals to around 94,000 workers each month and significantly addresses hunger and poverty among migrant labourers. This initiative has become a lifeline for workers like Manoj, who can now save more for his children's education and look forward to a more secure future for his family.

Manoj, once a small-scale farmer from a scheduled caste community, was forced to leave agriculture due to falling groundwater levels, unpredictable climate conditions, and rising energy costs. Faced with these challenges, he realised he couldn’t secure enough savings for his daughters' education and marriages. Seeking better opportunities, Manoj migrated to Raipur, where he traded his farming tools for purchasing a security guard's uniform. The subsidised meals provided through this scheme have eased some of his financial strain in adjusting to the demands of urban life.

Rural-to-urban migration in search of better livelihoods has become one of the largest demographic trends globally, with millions being forced to relocate. In Chhattisgarh alone, data from the Human Development Survey (2011-2013) shows that 0.19 million people have migrated from rural to urban areas. This wave of migration often results in food insecurity, forcing economically vulnerable migrants into unhealthy lifestyles.

To tackle this issue, UNDP has supported initiatives such as the ‘Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Shram Ann Yojana’ in partnership with Chhattisgarh’s Labour Department. The scheme runs base kitchens in over seven districts and has food distribution centres at more than 20 locations, serving nutritious meals to approximately 94,000 workers every month. Industrial and non-industrial workers alike can access these meals at a subsidised rate of Rs. 5 per meal, providing essential support to the urban poor, like Manoj, a security guard earning Rs. 12,000 per month, who face high living costs in the city.
